Nowadays, the importance of aesthetics in Dentistry is increasing. Thanks to new technologies, aesthetic applications come to the fore. Metal-supported porcelains, which have been used for many years to cover teeth with crowns, are now being replaced by zirconium-based porcelains.
Zirconium coatings provide a much more aesthetic appearance than old metal coating applications, thanks to their ability to transmit light.
Also. Zirconium coatings are very compatible with the gums. In porcelains with a zirconium substructure, zirconium, a white alloy, is used as the substructure instead of metal. Zirconium-based porcelains are natural and aesthetic enough to be used on front teeth.
Why should zirconium porcelains be preferred?
Thanks to the light transmittance properties of zirconium-based porcelains, complete compatibility with natural teeth can be achieved. In this way, a perfect aesthetic result can be achieved.
As there is no metal reflection underneath, the artificial appearance seen in metal-based porcelains does not occur.
Gingival compatibility is much better than classical metal-based porcelains. Gum discolorations, which are frequently seen in metal-based porcelains, are absolutely invisible in zirconium.
It is non-allergenic as it is a 99% tissue-friendly material.
It can mask the underlying tooth color on very dark teeth. Even excellent aesthetic results can be achieved.
Since they are produced with very precise work, they perfectly fit the cut tooth surface. In this way, since there is no gap between the zirconium porcelain and the tooth where bacteria can leak, it does not allow caries to form.
They are healthy materials that do not cause taste disturbances, gum problems and bad breath.
They are also healthy materials. They can be used safely on both front and back teeth.
